Today we noticed that our barnevelder is missing feathers on the back of her neck. She hasn't been laying even though we have artificial lighting going, and she's a winter layer breed. She's 30 weeks old, to young to molt... Right???
We also noticed the tiniest drop of blood. can't see it in...
I have 6 chickens laying right now and yesterday only 2 of them layed. Today only 1 layed. They were all 3 different hens. Is it winter now??? Are chickens going to stop laying now?
Thanks!
Hi! Got a friend who has 4 chickens and got 5 eggs one day. They check there egg box everyday. Is it possible that one of there chicks layed 2 eggs?

My black australorp who just started laying decided to lay in the coop. My other 3 layers lay in the nest box though. Anyone know how to get a chicken to start laying in a nest box?
Thanks!
Hi! I was wondering what you can feed to ur chicks at 1 week old beside water, and starter feed. Can I feed them grit, and worms, and salad? I know at 3 weeks people start to feed them fruit and yogurt, and I know whatever you feed them the main part of their diet has to be the starter feed...
Hi! Wondering if anyone knows about white marans and golden cuckoo marans. My question is: What breed has feathers [or as a chick, fluff] on it's legs/feet. Do both or only one?
Thanks!

I know it's super rare to have a golden buff rooster that's actually golden, but I think I might have one. It's so much bigger then the other golden buff hens, and these last couple of days I've been hearing sounds that sound like crows. I really can't tell by his walk since it has a limp, but...
Hi, I kinda have a stupid question, here but I have really no idea. Golden buffs are also known as red star, buff orpington, yellow sex link, and tons of other names right? And when there born the boys are almost white, and the girls golden. But as the chicks are older they all turn kinda...
Had to give away my beautiful french copper marans rooster. It's heartbreaking. Funny how much I'm attached and miss the little thing! Thank you to all the people who helped me determined if Midnight was a rooster. At least it wasn't such a big surprise to wake up at the sound of a crow!
Hi! I have a French copper marans rooster who will be 20 weeks on sunday. He did his first crow yesterday at about 10:00 am, and today he crowed at like 7:30 am. He continued to crow a little till 9:30 am. My question is will his crow get louder? I guess there like totally full grown at 2 years...
